The cottage was as advertised. Lovely location on the Lower Mill Estate super close to the activity hub and outdoor pool. Everything in walking distance and wonderful activities for the kids. Cottage is cosy and does exactly what you need. Only thing we mised was acces to the indoor pool as April was pretty chilly and I hadnt realised it wasnt included but aside from that could not have asked for anything else. Excellent setting, helpful owner, thoughtful additions like tea coffee milk and all amenities we needed. Very quiet - lovely little one outside
